Pharmacists are the #1 resource for giving you info about drug interactions (and side effects, missed doses, etc) - if we don't know it off the top of our heads/aren't sure, we have access to drug monographs and databases that can be used to doublecheck. Most would be happy to help you with any questions like this, and are specially trained/equipped to do so. Doctors are not drug experts to the same extent and may not know or think to share that info with you.
the "vitamin c/citrus ruins medication" misinformation has been going around for like a decade now and i still get pissed off seeing it
#example - dont take calcium supplements and iron supplements together#the two are both ions and bind (chelate) to each other and cancel out
